A wild brawl erupted at an upstate New York mall on Christmas Eve, with the fighters wreaking havoc in The Beef Jerky Outlet. In a viral clip posted to Twitter at least 10 people battle each other in the melee at Albany’s Crossgates Mall. A number of combatants appear to single out one person, throwing punches and forcing them into a wall, knocking down display items in the process. One person in the video can be heard shouting, “Out of the store, out of the store!” Towards the end of the footage, the fight moves to the front of the store. Amid the mayhem,

As usual, no arrests or consequences so they go on their merry way until their next hit.

This was in a "Beef Jerky Outlet" store. I guess the Nike Outlet was full and lined up. Don't care what color these morons were. Do care that the morons seem to get away.

Employee should have quietly hit the button to pull the gates down while he left.

Don't condemn a whole group of people. Many of them are moderate, peaceful people.
The Beef Jerky Outlet is next to Spatula City. They are the new anchor stores in the remaining malls now.

A warm climate conditioned place to vent your aggressions. Sure beats a vacant lot in the snow. The anchor stores either pulled out ot went belly up years ago, the specialty outlets couldn't afford the high rents, so all that is left are phone stores, Jewelry stores and bargain outlets. Most of the time, it is nothing more than a teen hangout.

Just weld the doors shut and feed em when you can (oh, beef jerky for example) . Saves shipping costs to prison. Fortunately these morons are still a small part of society in general. They marginalize themselves. Unfortunately a lot of un-marginal folks and children particularly get hurt along the way.

The video buffered and stop halfway through. I suspect it was a group out celebrating Kwanzaa those joyous festive days of the year. That's the reason I haven't been to a mall in over 20 years. They are all like living in Planet of the Apes. Last time I sat in a food court it sounded like feeding time at zoo in front of the monkey compound it was so loud.
Diversity at it best.

Why do people comment about a Mall they know virtually nothing about ? Just use a search engine to bring up the Mall and view the occupant list. I have no comment about the brawlers.

My younger brother is a psychologist, now retired.
He said he learned, in dealing with gang members, that there is an unwritten but universal rule. When opposing gang members meet, anywhere, they have to fight. There is no choice in the matter.
He also said he retired because he was fearful of his physical well being.

Can anyone identify any instance of the opposite of what's shown in this video -- a small group of Af-Ams working as a group to make the world a better place in some small way? The world, not their own nest. Do these people ever give back?

It's like a new mental illness with these media reports. They refuse to acknowledge who the participants of these brawls are, almost without exception. I can't think of an exception.

Albany, one of the few strongholds for the corrupt pay to play Thug gov. Everything outside NYC is 'upstate.' It's part of the NYC humbleness you hear so much about.

Sorry 23. You ASSUMED the race of the "ANIMALS" The same RACE as the wonderful, talented, smart, motivated, BLACK, students who are happily wiling to learn music from me. And that includes Scott Joplin ragtime. You knew the RACE of the ANIMALS because you are in fact a racist. Sit back and think this out before you comment again.

Sorry, should have said 23, 24, AND 25. I have black music students learning BLACK Scott Joplin ragtime piano from WHITE me. This is WRITTEN, composed music meant to be played as written BY he composer. This was written in the era of John Philip Sousa who frankly wasn't all that good. DO NOT post stuff that says "All black kids are out tearing up our sacred shopping malls" Those who are doing that deserve to be taken down and prosecuted but when you post "OH. THE USUAL RACE" you offend me first.

There is one race whose need for greater conscientiousness exceeds all others -- the human race.
There are angels and a**holes in every color and every language. Nobody has a corner on either category. That said, there do seem to be some groups who value self-control more than others, and some who are, quite frankly, more adept at it.

Separately, perhaps the answer to #19 can be a simple adaptation of #20 -- there seems to be an unwritten rule in OUR gang that when one of us encounters a story that that is ripe for snarky remarks, we must hit it for all we're worth (whether we took time to read it or not). No choice in the matter.

The ONLY problem with assuming is the old saw re making an ass outa u and me.
There are good kids and rotten kids and adults too, no biggy.
BUT, playing devils advocate, assuming the race of the rioters is not racist but oft times a factual guess based upon many, many similar news reports or videos. We all know it won’t be Sikhs, nor Amish or Mennonite or or or.

#29 no one has said "all blacks'" engage in this behavior. It does seem that these mall brawls are black only.

Shopping Malls need to be designated: "Hoodie Free Zone," and enforced!
